Fall colors, Neandertal, Mettmann and Erkrath, Germany. Yesterday. The Neanderthal Man got its name from the Neandertal Valley. In 1856 remains of the Homo neanderthalensis were found here for the first time.
…and such beautiful colors! I ran to the display in auspicious ecstasy but unfortunately these are actually spray cans. I like the design but would have loved such super fat Edding markers (compare the size of the normal permanent markers on the right side). Edding is very popular in Germany, their company name is used as a generic name for permanent markers. Seen in this shop in Mettmann.

Ein Mann zieht ein Klavier auf einem Hubwagen hinter sich her und lacht, während ich ihn im Vorbeifahren fotografiere. Aufgenommen vom Fahrrad während einer Maitour im Münsterland. Jedes Jahr am 1. Mai machen Münsterländer Maitouren, mit Bierfass oder -kästen im Fahrradanhänger und feucht-fröhlichen Pausen.
Snapshot from the bicycle – A man pulling a piano on a hand lift truck through rural Münsterland. He smiled when I took a photo while passing him on my bike. I was on a May tour with family and friends. On May 1st, people in the German Münsterland traditionally make a May tour, a bike tour with a barrel or crates of beer in a bike trailer and several boozy and jolly stopovers.
In 2012 there was a first wave of ‘when in…’ Tumblrs. Washington is the oldest I found so far, started April 6th, 2012. We have a second wave in 2013 with ‘when you live in…’ or ‘when you really live in…’ City Tumblrs, started by Josie Thaddeus-Johns with her Berlin Tumblr on January 17th, 2013. This is a Link list of all these Tumblr blogs and similar I found. If you have any others, please post a comment.
